I've been craving dark colours lately because spring is right around the corner and come September 1st, I'll be reluctant to wear them anymore. It happens every year, even though it is perfectly acceptable to wear them, particularly at the beginning of spring, I just feel like I should be wearing pastels etc. So expect an uncommon (or what will be uncommon) amount of nail polish posts while I frantically go through as many wintery colours as possible in the next week or so.
Natural Light
Back to the topic at hand, Dive Bar was not my favourite to apply. It was probably more to do with my application than anything but I found that the formula was inconsistent, if that makes any sense. On some nails it was fully opaque with the first coat and on others it was super sheer and streaky and the brush would immediately remove the polish just applied when doing the second stroke to cover the whole nail. I'm not the greatest at explaining things, if you can tell. I don't know why this happened as I used the same method for removing excess polish and I think I'm just going to stop here because I'm rambling and you've probably stopped reading by now anyways. I used two coats with three coats on a few uncooperative nails.
Artificial Light
Colour-wise, it is absolutely gorgeous. The base is dark but not so dark that it looks black in dim lighting, you can still see that it's got a blue tinge to it. Overall, after a second coat the polish looked perfect so despite my application woes, I would definitely recommend picking up this polish not to mention it comes with a fabulously low price tag.
I bought this polish from Transdesign.com for $4.
